under the current administration, the obama administration, the number of people on food stamps has increased by 16 1/2 million persons. in 2011 the snap program handed out $84 billion in food stamps in one year alone. the snap program is now the second most expensive after medicaid and it's the fastest growing of all the federal government's 80 welfare programs. this cost is unsustainable. reforms can be made without impacting, in my belief, those who truly need snints and there are some who truly do need assistance and we ought to help them. under current law, unused benefits are rolled over each month and can pile up for an entire year. the current law is terribly flawed and encourages fraud and abuse. my amendment would increase the integrity of the program by ending the rollover and recouping leftover benefits. instead of allowing benefits to remain unused and account for an entire year, my amendment would return unused snap or unused food stamp money or before hes to the u.s. treasury after 60 days. two months. which i believe is a very reasonable period of time. those actually using th
